Strewth, Ade, that's a bit inconvenient As an ex-company car driver, I do have some familiarity with Armco Rash ... I feel for you.Bruised ribs are damn painful, especially when laughing Might I suggest a discreet snigger and two Ibuprofen instead ...Get well soon .. Dave BC

I have a few modest talents. Knowing what I'm doing isn't one of them.

Sorry to see the car in that state Ade, what a pisser , I can cast my mind back to seeing a couple of MK2 RS2000's I had in that state , I rebuilt a couple of times until I got sickened ................. I only wish it was like the film 'Christine' ....... the one where the old Chevy ? kept rebuilding itself , it looks like a bit more of this for you though Ade. The new car will be better as you will have all the little things that could be better done, I suppose you have to look on the bright side at times like this , you're more or less ok ................and you didnt smash the sump

Thanks lads, all sympathies should be directed towards the car; the accident was unfortunately pilot error in this case.

Jeff, IIRC the "original" Christine (as written by King) couldn't exist (he described it as a '58 4-door); they are beautiful cars though, there was an exceptionally nice one on eBay a little while back.

I've got a hankering for a '65 Lincoln Continental just now.... preferably a soft top (the hard top version was used in The Matrix), depending on how expensive sorting the racing car out is, and a few other projects, I'd quite like to import one (export from your point of view) next year...

Actually, more survived than would immediately be thought, looking at the pictures... Engine/box/prop (yes, including the sump, phew!) all look OK. Even the radiator appears to be OK! So much so, in fact, that it might be repairable after all...

Ade, I've a few capris and will have a spare 2.0S shell in good condition next week that you can have. Dark grey metallic so still a good dark 'don't mess with me' colour.
